Unpopular Bible Doctrines ~ Part 1

This is a new 11 part serious that deals with "Unpopular Bible Doctrines" that even many Christians do not want to believe they are in the Bible. The videos, together with the Scripture portions, are from Larry Wessels, Director of Christian Answers, Austin, Texas.

The reason why I have decided to run this series is a desire and passion for getting the Truth of God into this world, and to those who are so deceived with their false doctrines and false teachings. This reality really hit home recently when I lost my mother to an illness that took her life on 29th February 2012, aged 71, and I got to see and hear my family members' mixed up or lack of doctrine when I attended our late mother's memorial service. This is not easy for me to write this, but I write this in love giving a stern warning, of which I, too, am also to examine myself before our God Almighty. Just as the apostle Paul withstood the apostle Peter to the face, because he was to be blamed (read the whole account in Galatians 2:11-21) so I issue the rebuke, for open rebuke is better than secret love (Proverbs 27:5). We have professing Christians, Roman Catholics and unbelievers in our "earthly" family that say we should not judge one another, when Jesus Christ said if we judge, "judge righteous judgment" (John 7:24). If we as believers were living perfect (Matthew 5:48) and Holy (1 Peter 1:16) lives before God our Father and continually examining ourselves we would not need our brothers and sisters to be doing the correcting and instructing. The reason why some Christians don't receive the rebuke in love, is because they are still caught up in pride - and pride comes before destruction (Proverbs 16:18). It appears that there are also believers that do not examine themselves against the Holy standards of God, but Scripture tells us that we are to use Scripture "for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness" (2 Timothy 3:16).

My friends, we do hope that we all might learn and grow by the Word given to us and to live righteous lives in Christ Jesus.

Monster Energy 666 Tue, 11/02/2010 – 10:45am | Pop Culture Pastor

 

Most people are probably unaware that Monster Energy drink hails Satan with it’s logo.

The three lines that seem to make up the letter M are actually three Hebrew letter Vav’s – which have a numerical value of 6.

 

The thing I find the most disturbing about all of this is the fact that it is so sublime.

It’s like THEY are trying to trick you into having these symbols in your possession – because they know you wouldn’t want it if you knew what it meant. If Monster starting using the logo below, I’m pretty sure sales would drop.

 

Now their slogan takes on a slightly different meaning…

There’s The Eye – with a 666 Vav, Vav, Vav right on it.

Rev. 13: 16 He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, 17 and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. 18 Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.

Look at the pics below and realize they are intentionally and covertly getting people to wear the mark of the beast.

Remember – THEY don’t use these symbols for no reason. Listen to what the famous Wiccan, Starhawk has to say about it: In the world of the occult, many symbols are imbued with power by the magician working in conjunction with the demonic spirit world. To cast a spell is to project energy through a symbol. Projecting energy through symbols??? We’re under spiritual warfare, friends! THEIR biggest weapon is that most don’t even know they are under attack. THEY are using witchcraft against the masses on a scale so broad that it encompasses everything and most can’t see it all for what it truly is. Go for the narrow path and escape the trap!
